MARVELLOUS CHANGES.
WHAT THE FUTRE WILL BE TO TIL oSE
WHO REFUSE TO BELIEVE.

Is this country unconsciously under
going wonderful change, is the change
to take place before we are aware OF the
fact, and when it has taken place Will
we wonder why we did not see it before
it was 100 late?
Those that see the changes early avail
themselves early and thereby receive
benefit.
The shrewd iron man sees the iron IN
terest transferred from tsburg and
PENNSYLVANIA to Birmingham Alabama,
and in his farsi ghtedness sees the fur
naces in Pennsylvania torn down and
deserted for this new and prolific field.
1t is claimed by the iron men of A la
bama that the low price at which iron
can be produced there will revolution
ize the iron interest of the world.
We have seen grains growing centers
of this country shifted to the west. We
seen fine pork packing industry fit from
Cincinnati to CHICAGO and thence to
Kansas CITY and Qnaha. Southern cot

We have seen and are seeing all this
take place before our eyes, and know
that other changes are taking place

There have been numerous points Of
controversy between Second Controller
Maynard and Secretary EndIcott. The
Secretary Of War has not in all case
been willing to accept the decisions of
the Second Controller, and has tried on
several occasions to have them reversed
Or overruled in some way. There has
been u conflict of authority, and Judge
Maynard has held the key to the situa-
ton. Two or three months ago Mr..
Endicott wrote n letter to the Second
Controller in relation to the accounts
OF several officers for mileage while
journeying abroad, which had been
disallowed, re-opened BY request Of the
Secretary Of War, and again dlsallow-
ed. In the letter Mr.. Endicott an
nounced that he intended to submit the
cases to the Court of Claims under the
provisions Of section two of the act of
March 3, 1888, which permits matters
controverted in the executive depart
ments to be sent to the court of claims
The other day, just before retr ing
from the Office of Second Controller,
Judge Maynard wrote a sharp reply to

THE EIRST BALLoTs

Desiring to crafty the pubic demand
for information concerning the Senatorial
race, THE GAZETTE instituted inquiries
early in December as to the preferences
of members ELECT for United States Sena-
tor. Reports were received from eDout
20 per cent. of the members, and, with
this as basis, THE GAZETTE estimated
that the first ballot would result as fol-
lows: Maxey, so; Terrell, 80; Reagan,
80, and Ireland, %. THE GAZETTE haz-
arded no guess as to the second or any
subsequent ballot, as it had information
of changes to be made that prevented in
telligent estimate. Upon the publica-
ton of THE GAZETTE's report the Ire
land organs hoped onto this paper with
great vigor, and the matter is only
alluded to now in order to direct
the attention of those organs to q COM
parison of the first ballot with this papers
estimate of it more than a month ago.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Maxey, AZ; Reagan, "a; Ireland, 27; Ter
rell, 26, and Giddings, /. Evidently MIR.
Reagan gained more votes from Mr.. Ter
rell than WAS expected in December.
Otherwise, THE GAZETTE submits the
December estimate as tolerably fair
piece of newspaper work performed under

THE feeling in the Senate towards En-
gland recalls the snub given this country
In the official notification by the British
government to the government of British
Columbia, that the Chinese immigrants
must enjoy the same unrestricted Hber-
ties as other people in the province. If
the liberties of the British Columbians
were unrestricted they would not be
overruled by an imperial mandate like
this. 1t is one of Epglsnd's hypocritical
characteristics to sympathlze with people
abroad who do not suffer nearly 30 much
oppression as she inflcts on her subjects in
Ireland. This order was issued, no
doubt, as snub to the United States
government which has passed law pro-
hiblting Chinese immigration; and also
as means of securing the good will of
China, which would be worth something
to England in case she were engaged in !
war with Russia.

CAMS chance lies largely in the time at
which Ireland and Terrell 60 to pieces.
Ireland can hold the balloting until weari-
ness induces the entry of the dark horse !;
if Ireland yields gracefully, it will be
Msxey or Reagan; if Ireland is stubborn,
it will be Reagan or dark horse.
Viewed by the light of the first ballot,
Reagan has two chances to only one for
each of his opponents; and yet tits always
the unexpected that happens, and he may
never reach the promised land, albeit he
now views it from proximity that must
strike terror to the souls of his oppo-
nents.
But these are only refections-the sec
ond ballot will be cast to-day.

A PUBLIC LAMB POLICY.
An EVIL Which Skill and Legislation Can
Overcome.

An EVIL Which Skill and Legislation Car
Overcome.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 25, 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
In previous letter l advocated the
policy of requiring settlement of public
lands for five years before alienation, and
the further policy of requiring ten acres
of timber to be planted and 8 five-acre
pond to be made on each section. Can
the settler maintain himself five years in
the west, and does settlement produce
rain, are two questions of great impor-
lance. The first is easily answered by
reference to Western Kansas and Ne
braska, who have;under the United States
homestead law steadily moved westward
in solid phalanX settling and holding the
entire country. The latter, however, is a
far more difficult question. That 1t does
is almost universally believed by all old
Texans who offer, as proof of the doc
trine, the fact that famine and long
drouths often prevailed in Central
Texas, where now abundant crops are
raised. While this may be so, and while
l dislike to refute doctrine advocated by
so many old veteran Texans, and which
they claim to have been almost demon
strated within their own experience, new
ertheless. deny that settlement alone
produces rain and maintain that the
slight increase of rain in Central Texas
and Kansas is due to the increased growth
of timber, and that the reason why famine
and drouth are less frequent now in Gen.
trail Texas and Kansas than when first
settled is due to the improved mode of
do tof nf
ducts found by experience to be most
suitable to their several soils and climates.
That simply cultivatipg the soil will in
crease the rainfall Of a country is neither
supported by science nor history, except
the seeming support above mentioned.
That blowing the land deep and keeping
il well puiverized will cause it to better
ABSORB the rain and by capillary attraction
feed needy crop IN dry weather is I'M
questionably correct. But that such
will increase the rainfallto any considera-
BILE extent is to me incomprehensible. If
the mere TACT of settlement and cultiva-
ton increased the rainfall Of country,
then there would rot now be any desert
in Asia and n orthern Africa, where the
earliest settlements of man were made
and where dense populations have existed
from the earliest "cradlehood" of mar
kind. Yet We find the desert huggiug q
little closer the garden of Eden than 1t
did at the earliest periods of sacred or
profane historic accounts. We find
Arabia a semi-desert now, just as it was
when Ishmael fist kicked the dust from
his heel, or when Mohammed's camel
plodded his weary way toward Mecca.
We find the desert in Egypt crowding
within single pace the very line of the
overfowed land of the Nile; and tina.
from the nineteenth to the twenty-ninth
parallel absolutely no rain falls. Just as
was the case in the days of Jacob and
Joseph, of Antony and Cleopatra, through

SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES

The first ballot was taken at Austin
yesterday for United States Senator, and
resulted as follows: Maxey, Il; Reagan,
"a; Ireland, 81; Terrell, 26, and Gid
dings, l., With this ballot as basis, it is
interesting to note the chances. 1t
requires SO votes to elect. Gov. Ireland
can come nearer delivering his goods
than any man in the race, for his strength is
personal and psrtizan 10 much greater
degree than that of any ofthe other candi-
dates. j he goes to MaXey, and il all of
Maxey's friends stand by him when they
see the Governor coming, Maxey will be
the Senator; but the first Of these condi-
tions is more likely to come about than
the second. Reagan's friends will stay,
because he came into the field at time
when only those who meant business
would gather about candidate. When
Terrell goes to pieces the bulk of his sup
port will go to Reagan. There are some
instructed Maxey and Ireland men who
are really for Reagan. The battle, as the
entries now stand, is between Maxey and
Reagan. Maxey can gain from Ireland
only; Reagan has friends among
the supporters of each candidate. Maxey
lacks but twenty-five votes, and he must
get these from Ireland, and hold his own;
his problem is to hold the. Reagan men
among his supporters when Ireland
breaks; in its solution is his fate. Rea-

THE Granbury Graphic thus utters 8
timely warning to those who are seeking
that place in search of employment
" People in needy circumstances in other
counties are warned not to come here at
present with the expectation of getting
work on the railroad. Many families are
now here in almost destitute circum-
stances, and the men unable to get regu-
lar work and some none at all. Such
families are thus placed in worse condi-
ton than il they had remained at home"

IN THE INTEREST OF EMPLOYER
AED EMPLOYED.

There are some good features in bill
introduced by Senator Harrison, which
is intended to regulate and possibly pre-
vent "strikes" growing out Of labor
troubles. For example, it is provided
that employers desiring to dispense with
the services of employees shall give the
latter thirty days notice of dismissal.
On the other hand, employees purposing
to quit the service of firm, corporation
or individual shall also give the employer
thirty days notice before leaving work
Senator Harrison holds that haste and ILL
considered action is at the bottom of
nearly all the labor troubles. He believes
that with time given for the "sober second
thought" employers and employees alike
would DE more cautious and careful.
While his bill covers the whole field OF
labor, there is no denial that it was framed
with direct reference to railroads, they
being more interested in securing the
continuous and uninterrupted service
of employees than perhaps any other
class of employers. The plan
proposed is not free from objections. To
illustrate, under such law the employ
ing party could not dispense with an in
competent or dangerous empioye at once.
There are emergencies that might render
1t not only desirable, but of absolute i'm
portance. TO get rid of an Objectionable
or incompetent man with as little delay
as practicable. In case of this kind the
onlV course open to the employer would
be to suspend the Objectionable party
instanter, but pay him for the thirty
days he would be entitled to, Just as
though he had worked those thirty
days. And once in while, no
doubt, there would be cas3s when
the law would bear hard on the en-
ploye, who, for reasons satisfactory to
himself, might desire to at once relin-
quish his work or position. Under these
circumstances the employe Qike the en-
ployer IN the case cited above) would
have to submit to the loss of
months wages. But it would be impos-
sible to frame law that would not ex-
hibit some inequalities IN its workings
or entail occasional hardship upon those
coming within its purview. In the main
the principle involved in Senator Harri-
sons measure is sound and equitable.
and as law it might do great deal of
good As its author ssys, it would give
employer and employe time for refec-
ton, in which differences might be ad- |
justed, amicablv and honorably. Or, if |
this failed, there would at least be SUI |
fcieut time for the employe to find, an
other employer, or vice versa. Finally,
he bill provides. (snd this is highly
,ommendable feature) that an ex-em-
,loye leaving work of his own accord,
,r by dismissal after thirty days. notice,
mall not interfere in any way, or modest
my one who sees proper to take his place
nd perform the work or duties thereto

THE passage by the Senate of the fish
cry bill is not calculated to render the
anxiety of Lord Salisbury any the less
perplexiDg. Just at this juncture in
European fairs complication with the
United States government is not the most
desirable situation. The British lior is
generally rampant, but has usually shown
that better part of valor which renders
individuals and nations discreet. Retail
alton on the part of the United States may
be deplored, as IS stated by the Canadian
papers, but rocks brought the boy out Of
he apple tree, and it may be that in this
case their own medicine firmly admins
tered will cure the Canadian government
of its peculiar mode of treating the Amer
lean fishermen on the coast. If no more,
1t is to be hoped that the passage of this
bill will effect peaceful adjustment of
thu points in dispute.

With four artesian wells that spout
from twenty to twenty-five feet above the
su face, it seems strange that Pecos City
should have no waterworks. W. d. John

remission of state taxes for the past
year on account OF the damage done our
county by the lease law is talked on the
streets.
The mining excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Van Horn, in Ell Pasc county,
continues undated. Several Pecosites
have located claims. Much interest is
manifested as to what revision the legis-
lature will make in the mining laws at
the present session.
